We are not personal fans New Years Eve due to fireworks. They are almost as scary as thunder and vacuums!

You know how the big ball drops in New York City? We do that too. The only difference is that our ball is a rubber glow-in-the-dark bouncy ball. Each year we mark how high it bounces. Our owners still don't where the crayon lines on the wall are coming from (hee, hee, hee).

We hope you are having a wonderful week. We have been enjoying the new boxes in the house. Thankfully, our owner has left some out for us to play in. We have big news. Our book has officially been printed by CreateSpace and is on its way to our home!!!!! Our paws are dancing around excitedly. The printed book is available to order on CreateSpace and soon will be on Amazon as well - to make your ordering super easy. We did raise our minimum price on Leanpub but we were sure to add a super cool coupon that will let you download our book as a kindle book for 99 cents, iPad book for 99 cents or a .pdf for 99 cents! Our plan is to always have the Leanpub price to be the lowest available to you as we are big fans of their company.

To download our e-book for 99 cents, all you need to do is visit our Leanpub book site, slide the book to the minimum price and then use the pawtastic coupon code at checkout:

sNqlUOLbqhDvUpdate: After a trial with Amazon KDP Select, our book is back on Leanpub and it is 99 cents without a coupon. No coupon needed. Our second book will be available on Leanpub soon! Leanpub is a way for authors to get feedback on in-progress books.

Our book is a humorous chapter book about our lives. Stanley and I are talking about what we can post on our blog in between our books. I am thinking about reading some of the books my owner has and letting you know what I think of them. Stanley says you'd rather know about animal facts. What do you think? Is there something you would like us to write about? We would love to know.

We are heading back to our big, empty boxes,

Stanley and Katrina von Cat the Master of Wisdom and KnowledgePS - Katrina's first book that she would review is Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson LevinePPS - A sample animal fact from Stanley: A hamster in the wild runs 20 miles every day! They go outside to look for food, this is most of the running. All this takes place at night, as they are nocturnal. Make sure to put the hamster wheel in!

The Christmas tree is enjoyed by so many people and their pets. Katrina stared at the tree longingly wishing she could climb up at that very moment instead of having to wait until her owners left. Stanley wanted to move his dog bed behind the tree to become all comfy and cozy. Their owners were too big to fit back there so that meant super comfiness for two whole months.

“Finally! They’re gone!” exclaimed Katrina. She wiggled her butt as she got ready to jump, “I am now going to go up the tree. Launch in three, two, and one.” The tree jostled as she joined an ornament on the fifth layer of the tree. She scurried up to the sixth level which was as far as she could go.

We have finished our book! Our editors were fantastic and provided feedback quicker than we requested. Thank you to Carly Kuriger & Rachael Shaner for your fantastic assistance. Rachael & Carly both gave us permission to share their reviews with you. "I LOVE the book. I didn't want to put it down, so I finished it in 2 days!" - Rachael S."I loved the book. I thought it was cool how the animals sent each other notes even though they were on the same floor. I love when the narrators speak too because whenever they speak, their part has a title. It's a full, fun, telling book and I enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy it too!" - Carly K. Thank you both! Our entire book is now out on Leanpub and will only be available for freefor a few more days as we will be raising the minimum price next week. Next step: Printing our book using CreateSpace. Woo hoo!Please be sure to share our book with your friends and family now while it is still free! Thanks everyone and have a Happy Holiday!

Hello,Stanley and I have recently discovered a new program called scratch. Stanley thought you got animated if you scratched on the ground. I told him it was a computer program. We are able to animate ourselves so you can learn more about us. We would like to thank scratch for the characters, background and item. This is our very first creation with Scratch. We love this program!This is awesome,

Q and A with Katrina

Submitted by Miss Beth

Q: Does your hair ever get stuck on your tongue and
how do you get it off??

A: It does, but I believe
the simplest way to do it is to pick it off hair by hair by hair by

As you know we have rivaled each other since the time we first met, 3 years ago. I believe it is the proper time to ask you this, what is your name? I have been calling you dog for three years now. I also would like to know, what breed are you? As a proper member of the wise cat council, I will now state this rule, all members of the council must know the name, age and breed of the other pet in the household. Now, I realize that you (as a dog) will say this violates your law. But the law doesn't have a time limit to learn the name, age and breed of the other pet in the household.Don’t eat my food,Cat****

Dear Cat, I will not tell you my name before you tell me yours!I will not take your suggestion,Dog****Dear Dog, The way you stated that letter was improper. If you want people to even read your letters give them melodious words and lots of detail. My official name is Katrina von Cat the Master of Wisdom and Knowledge. I am 8 and I am a grey tabby. There! You now must tell me your name.I will not except that,Katrina von Cat the Master of Wisdom and Knowledge****Dear Katrina, My name is Stanley, I am a black labrador/rottweiler mix and I am 3. I think the way I write letters is nice. But if you want melodious words, here are some for you: Mozart, Beethoven, music and notes.Okay, but I will still eat your food,Stanley

****Dear Stanley,

As a formal member of the wise cat council, I will propose to the council to have a trial about the eating food issue. Then, once we get approved by them, we will be taken to the Kitty court. I have gotten us both lawyers. Mine is Sir Fluffy the Master of Lawyers. I got you Lawyer Snookums. :)
